Is it possible to code it so that during the simulated down time you lock people in to being able to log on to only the first character they logged on with for a couple of hours? Maybe use a combination of IP and mac address? I know that IP and mac addresses can be changed using proxy and macshift or even another computer but it would definitely minimize the number of people that can camp multiple characters at multiple boss spawns.
Again, this is decidedly not-classic. If you've leveled multiple characters to 60, this should be an option to you.

But once again, I disagree with the notion of allowing people to have multiple accounts and to be able to buy/sell/trade them. This is fundamentally non-classic. If you can't play two characters, you shouldn't be able to have two accounts. Of course, a rule change here gives a one-time character transfer exemption or something.

Understood but a simulated reset on a regular basis with variance and now cut in half isn't classic either. Let's face it, the difinition of classic have been skewed, altered, stepped on and torn in half here most likely not on purpose but a side effect of fixing other issues. I was just giving suggestions to solve a problem if they were going to move forward with this. When I play on this server I don't really care what's classic and what isn't as much as whether the boats are working or not.
